That top pic is the draft class of 2003, featuring LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, among others. Look at their suits! Look at their pants! The entire draft was either sponsored by JNCO jeans, or the John Gotti look was very much in style. Maybe both.

Now look at the bottom pic. That's the draft class of 2017. Much less fabric involved, resulting in a much better look.

2003 was a special time, and we're not done here. Here are some pre-draft portraits top picks posed for 14 years ago. "Iconic" is a word that comes to mind.
